305. Set sail to sea
Two days later, the rubber sap on the hull of the new sailing ship "Explorer" finally dried completely, which meant that the ship was ready to be launched.
Chen Zhe and the girls have finally realized their long-planned plan to go to sea.
But before we go to sea, there is one more question that needs to be resolved - and that is the matter of who will stay to guard the camp.
You must know that Chen Zhe's camp has an abundance of ingredients. Bacon, ham, grilled dried fish, wine......
In addition, there is a large amount of wolf skin and lamp oil squeezed from tung trees......
These resources are subject to destruction and theft if left unguarded.
Not to mention the contestants from other groups on the island, just the animals living around will come and stretch out their evil little hands to these supplies.
So the camp must not be left unattended, and one or two people must be left to guard the house.
Looking at the girls, Chen Zhe only felt that it was difficult to speak, after all, everyone was quite looking forward to sailing at sea, and it was a bit cruel to let anyone stay at this time.
But there was no escaping this matter, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Everyone...... We're about to go to sea, but our camp can't be deserted, and we've been sailing for a long time, so someone has to stay behind to guard the house......"
Hearing this, everyone understood what Chen Zhe meant, in fact, everyone was also discussing this matter these days, and they were also struggling with whether to go to sea or stay in the camp.
At this time, Da Qiao took the initiative to stand up and said: "You can rest assured to go to sea, the camp can be handed over to me, I said before, I am a relatively homely person, and I feel very comfortable living in a tree house." ”
Without waiting for Da Qiao to finish speaking, Xiao Qiao shook his head and said, "No, sister, you obviously want to go to sea, it's too unfair to leave you alone at home......"
"It's nothing. Big Joe smiled, "I can really stay." ”
Immediately, Yan'er also stood up and said: "Sister Mengyun, otherwise you can go to sea with everyone, I will stay and guard the camp, this time I will stay at home first, and next time we will rotate, isn't it okay?"
"Stop messing around, Yan'er. Da Qiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can I let you stay in the camp? You are the one who wants to go to sea the most......
......
Girls, you say a word, and in the end, there is no result, Chen Zhe also thinks about it, and it seems that it is not appropriate to leave anyone.
Then he had an idea and thought of a group of neighbors.
Lia Tila and Clark.
Their little treehouse had just been erected, and there wasn't much stock in it, so there was no need for their shelter to be guarded......
In this case, it is better to invite them to stay here for a while, and eat ham and bacon as you like, and drink red wine as much as you want, as long as they are in charge of guarding the camp and taking care of the water wheel.
"As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!"
Chen Zhe couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then shared this idea with everyone:
"Don't argue, this problem is actually very easy to solve, I'll go and invite Liatilla and Mr. Clark over, and let them help us guard the house, can't we go to sea together?"
"That's right!" Xiao Qiao's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Chen Zhe, you are still smart!"
Da Qiao also smiled and nodded, "This is indeed a good idea. ”
So Chen Zhe called Meixi, and the two of them drove to Liatila's camp to move the rescuers, and half an hour later, Liatila and Clark were picked up by Chen Zhe.
On the way back, Chen Zhe had already told Liatila about the entire plan to go to sea.
So as soon as she got out of the car, she excitedly asked, "I heard that you are going to sea, to eat seafood, to catch big fish?"
"Yes...... Yan'er said with a smile, "It's also the rainy season, it's too stuffy, and we're all suffocated." ”
Xiao Qiao also nodded and said: "Actually, ham, bacon and the like are also a little tired of eating, so it's better to go to the sea to change the taste and eat some seafood." ”
Liatila listened to it with a drooling water, and her heart inevitably yearned, and then glanced at the sailboat that Chen Zhe and the others had jointly transformed, and she was even more envious.
"Wow...... What a magnificent sailboat......" asked Liatila, "can it seat a lot of people?"
"Basically, it can accommodate eight people on board for a short period of time, which is considered a medium-sized sailing boat. Chen Zhe said with a smile.
"It can hold eight people...... Liatila repeated, then stretched out her slender fingers and counted them towards Chen Zhe, "One, two, three, four, five......"
One Chen Zhe plus four girls, there are only five people in total, even if you add the camera brother who followed the shooting, the number is only six.
"There are only five of you, and wouldn't it be a bit of a waste to sail on such an eight-man sailboat?" asked Liatila slyly.
Chen Zhe understood what she meant as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "Are you also planning to join us on our voyage?"
Liatila was told that she was broken, smiled, and then turned back to Clark and said, "Mr. Clark, you can complete the task of guarding the camp alone, right?"
Clark shrugged helplessly - you asked that, can I still say no?
"I guess so. He said depressedly.
Lyatila smiled when she heard this, turned to Chen Zhe and said, "See, Chen Zhe, Mr. Clark can guard the camp alone, and we can go to sea together!"
Chen Zhe was speechless, you are really good at bullying honest people.
However, the girls were very supportive of Liatila's joining, cheering one by one, and even Mi-hee, who was usually the shyest, happily pulled Liatila's arm and smiled: "Great, this trip has become more lively again......"
......
After solving the final problem, Chen Zhe and the girls were ready to set sail.
Carry a huge sailboat into the river and use a rope to pull the boat into the deep water.
First carry some commonly used daily necessities on the ship, and then Chen Zhe will take everyone on board one by one.
All six men came to the ship, and Clark on the shore loosened the rope and did not need to hang up the sails at all, and the sailboat drifted away in the direction of the sea under the action of the current.
Chen Zhe and the girls stood by the boat, the breeze on the river made people feel happy, and Mr. Clark, who stayed in the camp, stood on the shore, like a loyal and simple old butler waving goodbye to everyone.
The sailing ship "Explorer" moved forward slowly, its hull rowing across the river, causing ripples.
At this time, Liatila, who was standing beside Chen Zhe, looked at Clark on the shore and said remorsefully: "Oh, I suddenly feel that I just left Mr. Clark alone to guard the camp, so ruthless......"
Chen Zhe had a black line: "You finally realized this problem......
The more Liatila thought about it, the more she regretted it: "We don't know how many days it will take to go to sea, maybe a week or two, and during these weeks or two, Mr. Clark can only live alone in the camp, so how boring and lonely should he be every day?"
"Yes, Mr. Clark is really pitiful. Yan'er couldn't help but nod.
"Tut-tut...... I knew I should have stayed. Liatila said regretfully, and after a second, she said freely, "But since I have decided to go to sea, then I should not regret it, and have the courage to bear the decision I made!"
After saying that, she happily ran to the bow of the boat to see the scenery, and there were no more regrets before.
Seeing that Liatila returned to normal so quickly, Chen Zhe couldn't help but sigh: "This woman ...... Should I say she's ruthless, or should I say she's dashing?"
The magnificent and exquisite sailing ship "Discovery" went all the way down the river, and the green waters and green mountains on both sides of the river kept retreating.
Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the ever-changing and beautiful scenery along the way, everyone felt extremely comfortable, and the depression in the treehouse during this time was also relieved.
Along the way, you can occasionally spot some interesting aquatic creatures, and even a crocodile or two lying on the shallows, waiting for their prey to take the bait, but none of these creatures dare to get too close to Chen Zhe's sailboat, and they all seem to know that this solid wood behemoth is not easy to mess with.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zhe took the girls from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, this river is the old road that Chen Zhe once took Da Qiao to the beach to make salt, so these two people are particularly familiar with the environment along the way.
Chen Zhe walked to Da Qiao's side, smiled and asked in a low voice, "How about it? If you come down from the mountain again this time, you won't be afraid of the boat anymore, right?"
The last time the two of them took a bamboo raft, and when they went down the mountain, the speed was extremely fast, and Da Qiao was so frightened that he didn't dare to open his eyes all the way, and even wanted to hug Chen Zhe's arm and scream loudly.
This time, Da Qiao didn't have this problem, and his eyes were always open.
"Of course I'm not afraid this time. Da Qiao smiled, "First, I am already familiar with this river, I know where to go fast and where to slow, and secondly, the sailboat is much larger than the bamboo raft, and it is very safe to sit on it." ”
"That's good. Chen Zhe nodded reassuringly.
It is true that a large boat gives people a greater sense of security than a small bamboo raft.
Soon the sailboat came to a flatter part of the river, where sails were relied upon to sail.
Chen Zhe hung up the sails and let the sailboat continue to move forward with the help of the wind, but he did not hang the sails to the full, because it was almost time for dinner.
Since he is walking along the river, Chen Zhe certainly cannot waste the gifts of nature.
As the saying goes, we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and we rely on the water to eat the water, and now we rely on the freshwater river, so naturally we can't miss the aquatic products in the river.
Chen Zhe took out a rattan basket tied with a tree rattan from the cabin, this rattan basket was originally used by Xiao Qiao to fish in the mountains and rivers, and when building a ship, Chen Zhe used the item upgrade system to upgrade it slightly, and then tied a long and strong enough vine, so that this rattan basket can be used on a sailboat.
When the sailboat sailed forward some distance, Chen Zhe poked his head to observe the surrounding situation, only to see the shadow of the fish swaying under the sailboat, which was some fish swimming happily.
The river on the island is clear and clean, you can easily see the fish in the water, and the rainy season falls during this time, the habitat of animals in the low-lying areas of the island is submerged, there are no animals nearby to prey on fish, and the fish in the water have no natural predators, and they become fat and rich.
"The river is full of big fish, and we've got a big bargain. ”
Chen Zhe said with a smile, and threw the fishing basket directly to the side of the boat.
The fishing basket sank underwater, and as the sailboat slowly advanced, some of the fish slipped into the fishing basket.
Chen Zhe held the vine tightly, and through the change of force on the vine, he could sense the number of fish swimming in the basket.
If you look down again, you can see that the fishing basket is already full of loot.
Wrap the vine around the palm of your hand twice, then pull it upwards sharply, only to hear the sound of the water, and the basket full of fish begins to leave the water.
However, on the one hand, there is the resistance of the water, and on the other hand, there are a large number of fish, so the fishing basket is much heavier when it is re-caught than when it is thrown down.
Even if Chen Zhe's arm has been blessed by the system, and his arm strength is amazing at this time, it is still not a task that he can complete alone.
"Quick...... Come help me, there are too many fish!"
Chen Zhe hurriedly said.
When Meixi, who was standing next to her, heard this, she immediately ran over first, stood side by side with Chen Zhe, and grabbed the vine in his hand.
"Hmm......"
After dragging it for a while, Mi-hee realized how heavy this fishing basket was, and she felt that she couldn't pull it at all as a girl who had been practicing martial arts since she was a child.
"I'm here too!"
"And me!"
At this time, Xiao Qiao and Yan'er also ran quickly to Chen Zhe's side and came over to help pull the tree vine together.
However, the three of them standing together already occupied the space at the bow of the boat, and the remaining girls could only pull the waist of the person in front of them in the back and help by pulling their waists.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, Chen Zhe finally succeeded in pulling the fishing basket back, and at this time it was already full of fatty swimming fish, and they were still dying and struggling in the fishing basket.
Looking down, the system immediately gave a hint:
[Item detected: A plump mountain stream grouper.] 】
[Item detected: A high-quality mountain stream grouper.] 】
[Item detected: one ......]
Chen Zhe showed a smile on his face and said, "It's our old friend again, Shanxi Grouper, do you remember the days when you ate grilled fish at the bottom of the mountain?"
"Of course I do. Yan'er immediately nodded and said, "It turns out that the mountain stream grouper is only available under the mountain, and I said that I haven't eaten it for a long time, and the taste of the fish is really good, it's too unforgettable......"
Liatila also said with emotion: "I also remember Chen Zhe's grilled fish, which is simply delicious in the world. ”
Xiao Qiao blushed a little and said: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for this fish, we wouldn't know Chen Zhe and I would not have known each other, I stole Chen Zhe's fish at the beginning, but he caught it." ”
"You still have the face to say, this is simply your black history!" Da Qiao said helplessly.
Chen Zhe laughed and said: "Yes, I almost sanctioned Meng Fei for being a thief on the spot, if it weren't for Meng Yun's good attitude of admitting her mistakes, and Meng Fei later realized her mistake, I would definitely not spare your ...... easily."
Among the people present, only Meixi did not have the memory of this period, because she had just met Chen Zhe.
But she also felt very happy to hear everyone's lively discussion, as if she was there at the time and had known everyone for a long time......
